Robberies over the last 12 months are up 7% compared to the annual average over the last three years, according to the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department data through November 21.

The areas of the county policed by the LAPD and Sheriff’s Department averaged 255 robberies a week over the last 12 months. In 2019, that number was 268 a week.

Robbery is generally defined by police as taking something of value from someone by force or threatening force. So while someone taking a smartphone from someone’s bag would be theft, taking it while pointing a firearm at the person would be robbery.
